November Updates

It's a cool crisp morning here in southern Indiana this morning.  You can always tell when the wood stove is almost empty that's for sure.  Nothing a little hot coffee can't fix though. We have three doctor appointments today so I will be glad when this day is over.  The kid's have to get their annual check up and then we will be good till next year.  We brought the birds in from the garage so now it sounds like we are living in the jungle. It is just too cold out there since he doesn't keep the stoves in the garage going all winter.  A couple of the Cockatiels are setting on some eggs so it wont be long and we will be having baby cockatiels again.  I will try to upload some new pictures of the new birds when they arrive. Have a great day out there in blogland!

Preparing For Winter

Spent most of the day preparing for winter. We got three loads of wood. Got one load split and put on the front porch to keep dry. The weather was perfect! Just could use some rain. Our county is under a water warning and things are realy dry around here. My dad said he can see the frogs in the well so it must be almost empty!

Winter Storm Watch

I just read the weather report and looks like we are under a winter storm watch. We got a pretty good snow friday and I got to drive home from work in it. I had to keep my headlights on low so I could see what was left of the reflectors on the road. I drove about 30-35mph home. I did a 180 and then brought the car under control. Needless to say my heart was racing! I made it home now we are getting ready for the next big storm. I saw on the internet that there was a big explosion at the Kleen Power Plant in Connecticut. I will be following the story as it comes available.

Happy Birthday Harrison

We celebrated Harrison's 14th birthday yesterday. He got a new digital camera,money and a cheesecake. We had pizza and hotwings for his birthday supper. They grow up so fast!
It's snowing again here in Indiana. Woodstoves are burning and it is nice and cozy in here. Fixing chili for supper. The kids love chili in the winter time. Pictures to come soon. So stay tuned.

Kids are better

Finally getting back to themselves I know the kids are feeling better! Praise the Lord for it! Worked yesterday. Waiting for friday so I can pay my car payment. I talked to them today about my car payment and told them I will be paying on friday so maybe they will stop calling. There is a cold wind a blowing here and I am ready for winter. The sooner it gets here the sooner it leaves right? Some snow ice cream wouldn't be bad either.

Saturday

Got a day off today, I cannot believe it is already November. The snow will be flying before we know it.

Strange Things Happening

The other day it was between 20-33 degrees or so and on our way to another city we saw a bird coming down out of the sky toward the windshield of the car. We noticed this bird had something in it's mouth and it got right in front of our windshield when we saw the bird had a snake in it's mouth! I have never seen a snake in February but sure enough I have now. I thought that snakes hibernated in the winter in Indiana!
